Pitt, Penn State add 2 more games to renewed football rivalry

Pitt and Penn State have added two more games to their renewed football rivalry that will resume during the 2016 season.

The home-and-home series will now continue into 2019.

The Panthers will host the first game of the renewed series at Heinz Field on Sept. 10, 2016. The game will then move to Penn State on Sept. 16, 2017, before coming back to Pittsburgh on Sept. 8, 2018 and again returning to Beaver Stadium on Sept. 14, 2019.

Last year, the two universities announced the first two games of the renewed rivalry would be played in 2016 and 2017.

The two teams have not played since Sept. 2000, when the Panthers shut out the Nittany Lions 12-0 at Three Rivers Stadium.

Since the two teams began playing in 1893, Penn State holds a 50-42-4 advantage.
